This is a documentary in six parts with a seventh counterfactual piece available. As one watches the documentary, a Document Dossier accumulates allowing people to look in more detail at the subjects being discussed on the documentary. These "documents" include photos, tapes of ExComm meetings and presidential phone calls, videos shot in the 1950s and 1960s, audio clips, copies of letters, and videos of modern experts discussing the events. The titles of the Chapters in the documentary are (1) Context: Life in 1960; (2) Seeds of Conflict: Feb 1960-Dec 1961; (3) Opening Moves: May-Oct 22, 1962; (4) Escalation: Oct 23-Oct 25, 1962; (5) The Brink of War: Oct 26-Oct 28, 1962; (6) The Legacy: Post 1962. The counterfactual segment is called What If?: An Alternate History and is done in the same style as the documentary pieces. I am calling this a Learning Object Repository, but that might not be the most accurate description.

"Still Casting Shadows: A Shared Mosaic of U.S. History" breaks with tradition by presenting a holistic (rather than a white-centric and politician-dominated) portrayal of American History. It begins with the arrival of the Puritans at Plymouth, Massachusetts, and follows the descendants of two Mayflower passengers, John Howland and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, forward to the present day. Along the way, events as wide-ranging as colonial-era Indian battles, the defense of Little Round Top at Gettysburg during the Civil War, a devastating ambush in Vietnam, and a heroic deed by a California Highway Patrol officer are examined from the personal perspective of those on the scene. Much more than simply a volume of family history, Still Casting Shadows is a concise outline of American history. As such, it includes hundreds of short chapters that cover upwards of a thousand events of national import. Each chapter begins with striking quotations that illuminate the events being discussed.

The East Asian Collection includes historical images that present a visual archive of 20th century East Asian cultural heritage. Currently, the collection consists of images that document early 20th century China including the the Sino-Japanese Conflict (1937-1945), a visual history of Buddhist practices and temples in China, and other images of daily life in both rural and urban China. The completed project will be a valuable resource for research into this region and its history.
